With a deteriorating weather forecast in the afternoon and 2-3 hours of sunshine in the morning, I ascended one of my favourite low level mountains, Slievenaglogh, today. At 455m, the mountain proves you don't always have to climb very high to obtain great views. The distance was just over 5km, taking 1.45 hours. The summit offers great views of the Silent Valley and the eastern/central Mournes.
